Ah thanks! That makes a total of 3 (including the Khmer UU). Could become a priority...

Don't worry we will sort this out with Bakuel. I know of a few pictures.

I love South East Asia stuff! Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia and… and… that other nation that I always forget about… V something. I do remember a few people from there worshiped their food though. Pretty frightening if you think about it.

I don’t know much about what type of military styles South East Asia has though, and the only thing I know about Khmer military comes from some stone wall carvings. If you have any good pics Sword could you post them? It’s never to early to start laying out unit sets. I already have some other culture sets laid out that I haven't even touched and probably won't for a while now. It makes the creation much easier and insures that they all look at least somewhat differently. And I just want to see some Khmer warriors.

the Khmer units couold be simply a generic Southeast Asian units. then, for example, their Marines could look liek VietCong.

i made a machine gunner based on Gedemon's unit here that is wearing the "black pajamas".....i am quite frustrated right now I am seeing such cool units and concepts but I wont be home for another 2 weeks

about the egyptian headgear, i was actually at the metropolitan museum of art today, and i saw interesting headgear, kinda looks like a bowling pin....

Khmer Warriors and other Southeast ASian Warriors:

Horseman:

Spearman:

Swordsman:

Archer:

Pikeman:

Knight:

Crossbowman:

Maceman(Sword Guy, either keep the sword or give him a mace) and Longbowman:

For the axeman you could copy the style of the Pikeman or Maceman(Golden Warrior) and give him the Axe.

Thanks for the pictures Sword of Geddon! Now I have practically all of East Asia laid out more or less! Where do you find these pictures from anyway? Not that anyone every reveals their best sources on the internet. I don’t know when Niknaks93 wants to do South East Asia but at least now I’ll be ready. I personally hope it’s soon though, the armor on that golden archer and swordsman looks like it’ll be fun to try to make…

 

[NikNaks]

Khmer is officially next on the list! As soon as Egypt is done, on to these units. It's up to you whether to use the concept art or not

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Im glad I finally got the man himself's opinion. Go here for lots of art: http://www.dbaol.com/armies.htm thats where I got a few of the pictures from.

 

[Bakuel]

Hey Sword, I would have responded yesterday but, truth be known I had just gotten my hands on a long awaited book and I had to finish it in a day.
Thanks for the link!
If Khmer's next then I better focus on finishing off egypt!

I updated the first post with the longbow man and the armored horse versions of the two horse knights.

 

[sepamu92]

I like the horse armor. And the hair on the longbowman looks very good

 

[Bakuel]

Thanks sepamu92! I was actually pretty surprised that the hair turned out looking that nice.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Your units are all fantastic Bakuel. Remember theres already a Swordsman, Spearman and an Axeman out there so you don't have to do them.

 

[Bakuel]

Thanks for the kind words Sword!
Heh, funny you should say that... I was actually half way through making a spearman until I was reminded about some of White Rabbit's stuff... I should take swordsman off my list too.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Whats left? The Musketman and Gunpowder units I think?

 

[Bakuel]

That's about it I think, expect some of them on the weekend hopefully.

 

[Chuggi]

The knight looks great! and I like the new head for the longbowman.

 

[GeneralMatt]

Very nice units. I am sorry I did not look before!

Re: To My name being mentioned in conjunction with "More" and "Wooden Ships".

Yeah, I plan o getting to that someday, I have just been lazy of late, maybe this waiting for BTS has done something to me.

 

[Bakuel]

@GeneralMatt
Thanks for the kind words! I don't mean to bug you about ships, but you’re the only person who makes boats and the era of sail is often neglected. I'm glad that you plan to make some more wooden ships.

@Chugginator
I'm glad you're satisfied with how the armor turned out. A question about the Heavy Knight you gave me, it had a some type of flag skin thingy on it's shield. I would guess this means that the civ who controls the unit's flag emblem shows up here? Is this an old skinning ability that was already there or is it a new ability for BtS units?

 

[Chuggi]

It's some special thing for the Charlemagne scenario. I think it's a new ability, haven't really looked into it though.
